Pretty Ricky
The ladies favourites - Pretty Ricky make a welcomed return with their eagerly anticipated third album 80’s Babies set for release on September 22nd. The first single, Cuddle Up, introduces the talents of one of the group’s acts, girl-group - Butta Crèame and comes out on August 18th.
80’s BABIES follows Pretty Ricky’s two hugely successful albums Bluestars and Late Night Special, which collectively gave crowd pleasers like Grind With Me and On The Hotline. This forthcoming album takes listeners back to a time when unadulterated R&B music was at its prime. The boys pay homage to everything 80’s and early 90’s as their remake of H-Town’s, Knockin’ Boots brings back old memories and introduces younger fans to some good ol’ slow jams.
Along with the natural vocal growth, the Pretty Ricky family has some obvious changes which include the group’s new hunk of chocolate, lead singer 4Play, "4Play is our secret weapon," says Spectacular. "He’s here for the ladies. His falsetto is sick." The new album does not boast an endless list of guest appearances, a deliberate decision made by the group. As Spectacular explains, "We don’t need to have features on this album; we are self-sufficient."
Pretty Ricky, the new bad boys of R&B, feel that one of the reasons for their success is that their music touches the inner soul. "We just wanted to accomplish the same feeling on this album so that it would be a continuation. We are in this forever."
